Our Organization

The Canadian Organization of Undergraduate Psychiatry Educators (COUPE) consists of a director or coordinator of undergraduate psychiatric education from each of the seventeen (17) Canadian medical schools (one vote per university).

Observer status may be accorded from-time to time to other psychiatric educators, residents and medical students at the direction of the Chair.

COUPE members meet twice a year (in conjunction with the annual and spring round of meetings of the Canadian Psychiatric Association) to develop a national consensus for objectives for medical education and curricula content.
